Also, connect with other like-minded people in your community and attend as many in person (and online) meetings at your local REIA groups to network and connect + find out about off market deals and get on local wholesalers "buyers lists".Best of luck!

My name is Michael and I'm a Realtor here in the DFW area and looking to get into the investing arena.

I have no idea who to follow guidance from and don’t want to get burned. 

I'm currently considering whether to 1031 a couple of rental SFH's I have in the DFW area over to Vegas.Having lived in an owner-occupied house here for 3 years now and looking at my Clark County bill:- The assessed value is only 25% of the current "quick and dirty" market value (Redfin, Z)- There's a line item where property tax rate appears to be 3% of the assessed value- ... however, another line item subtracts a lot from this because of the lag from owner-occupied increase cap percentage of 3% annually (if I'm understanding correctlyAlso, despite changing hands 3 years ago, it's interesting that the assessed value didn't get re-assessed to the purchase price back then.

In fairness, that could be due to disruption from all of the construction.Our current PM has done a good job maintaining the property, but more and more I find myself having to get involved in day to day issues. 

I'm shooting to get my first house in a few years and was interested to see if it's still easy to cash flow off of a house hack in 2024?  

Some very successful investors were slow to get started. 

Chicago Attendees, As we prepare for Cancun next week, I was thinking that it would be fun to organize a little Moon Palace get-together for Chicago-area attendees once we are all down there. 

What do you do in the time between the sale and when you get the deed?

You can use a temporary google number in the listing to get past that hurdle for phone calls and texts but you will still get mailers.
